Ryan Reynolds has definitively put an end to swirling rumors about Taylor Swift making a cameo appearance in Marvel Studios’ upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Speculation arose due to their close friendship, but Reynolds clarified to E! News that Swift won’t be featured in this particular project. “I will say once and for all that the cameo thing with Taylor, because she’s our friend—that is not in this film,” Reynolds stated, dispelling any lingering doubts among fans.
Despite debunking the cameo speculation, Reynolds praised Swift’s comedic prowess and even suggested she could potentially take over his iconic Deadpool role if he were to step down. “I always do say that if anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good,” he remarked. “Because that’s a superpower that I don’t know that she shows everyone too often: She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”
Earlier, Reynolds had playfully fueled rumors by sharing a teaser for Deadpool & Wolverine that referenced Taylor Swift’s Evermore album cover. Their friendship has long been a subject of fan interest, especially after Swift filmed her All Too Well music video at Reynolds and Blake Lively’s home, and Reynolds appeared in her You Need to Calm Down music video.
Director Shawn Levy also weighed in, confirming to Entertainment Weekly that while Deadpool & Wolverine includes numerous cameos, none of them overshadow the film’s central narrative. “We didn’t want any of the cameos or characters to be the story of the movie. But they are peppered in throughout,” Levy explained. Addressing the plethora of internet rumors, he added, “There’s a lot of characters. The internet is a delight of rumors about the multitude of character cameos that are in this movie. Some rumors are true, some are way off base.”
While fans won’t see Taylor Swift in Deadpool & Wolverine, the ongoing banter between Ryan Reynolds and Swift continues to entertain and intrigue audiences. Reynolds’ admiration for Swift’s talents and their playful exchanges on social media underscore their close bond, keeping fans eagerly anticipating their next collaborative endeavor, on-screen or otherwise.
